I'm sure there's a lot to learn in film school, but you've got admit, we come to school to look for a job, right? And knowing all that we could in school would not be enough. The filming industry is not like any other industry. A lot of what you need to learn to be able to make it big, you will learn on the job. I mean really, what's the point of going to school then other than learning the basics.
Other than that, it helps to know someone in the industry to open doors for you. To show you the ropes of making it work. It would be nice for film schools to give us that push toward the right door. I don't feel like graduating and starting from scratch, because wouldn't the producers and directors rather hire someone who's actually been in an actual movie set than having been stuck in a classroom for years? I'm sure they would rather have someone who knows how to work from experience rather than from books. Nothing beats hands-on learning.
That's right, film school can only take you so far, but to be able to work in the industry that we love, we've got to be able to experience it while we're learning it. To do both at the same time, learning about film and working in film, would just be great.
